Yep, MSI MPG z790 motherboard, excellent board. Just upgraded from 64 to 128 and after 3 days of BS, found out that all I needed to do is flash my BIOS/ Update it and realize that even though I purchased 6000MHz, not gonna happen. but I am happy with the results because now my $4000 PC boots in 36 sec. I have over 200 Steam games and the high demanding graphical games like RDR2, CyberPunk 2024, hell at first Ghost of Tsushima would not even open due to lack of memory and I am running a RTX 4090 24GB, 64 RAM. So, now I allocate 64RAM to virtual for gaming and max all my games out, unless they don't look good maxed. Smooth as butter.

Yes it is possible if you know how to adjust the timings in your bios, but 99% of people building today are looking to click their Intel XMP or AMD Expo profiles and call it a day which does not work well if at all when running 4 sticks.
I haven't built yet but I've got 2x32gb Vengeance 5200... Hoping all goes well. A lot of DDR5 videos are from a year ago and it's all doom and gloom about boot issues. This made me feel a little better haha thanks dude.
No problem! I am posting an updated video since the release of the new AMD series and new motherboards. Be on the look out for it in the next couple of days!
On boot, I only got 1 stick of DRR5 Corsair Dominator to be recognized (dual channel) Second stick - nada yet. Just first fire up. Probably bios. Will update after the holiday.
I can't boot with the XMP profile with 64gb x4 sticks, I just bootloop, might wait a few bios updates to see if it gets fixed im using a Prime z790-a WIFI. However I can boot with x2 sticks with XMP.. I tried a fix video to alter the xmp profile but it did not work. and this is at 5600 speed
@@D4RKMA7TER I finally got mine to run in dual channel (2 sticks of 32, but I had to use different slots than was recommended) and yes it’s still dual channel.

The latest update is that things have been clearing up with the BIOS updates and definitely have been getting better. I would highly recommended doing a bios update before you enable the Intel XMP or AMD EXPO. This will get you the best results! Let me know if you have any issues on the build, happy to help!
Great video but Quad Channel is not very common on consumer motherboards, mostly its seen on servers/workstations motherboards maybe instead of mentioning ¨Quad Channel¨ I would use 4 sticks vs 2 sticks of RAM and yes that's the reason I stopped trying to buy another 2 stick DDR5 6000MHz kit to populate all the four slots of my build!!
Just finished build for MIDI Orchestration: i9-13900KF, MSI Z790 Carbon WiFi, G.Skill Z5 Trident DDR5 128GB (4x32) CL28 5600, annnnnnd.... I have to run at 4000 right now for stability, the MSI BIOS isn't ready yet. No XMP yet, as of 1-15-23. SO, you called it, spot on for now. I lowered it to 5200 and it posted sometimes, so for now, I'll just leave it be. UserBench mark gave it 132% for now, that's fine. Orchestration NEEDS 128GB, no choice really.
There are many use case scenarios where 128GB is needed. I am hoping most of the issues get resolved with BIOS updates. Keep an eye on your motherboards manufactures site for BIOS releases. Likely they will provide better stability for the DDR5.

Go with an Intel XMP Ready kit. You should be fine with the 6000MHz Speeds, worse case you run the ram at a slower speed until DDR5 matures. I am posting an updated video about the DDR5 topic that will help explain the difference between Intel XMP and AMD EXPO ram kits.
Well my friend, please help me here because I have been having some real trouble for months now trying to run 4x16 on ASUS x670E Hero with a 7950x3D. I have tried several combinations, whet do you syuggest?
My suggestion is do not run x4 sticks. The maximum you can run with two sticks is 96GB that's your stable limit. They make specific kits for this exact purpose.
Thank you for this video - not much content creators covering this topic which I find weird... I have XMP II (Manufacturer's Profile) enabled on my Maximus Z690 Extreme with 4 x 16 6200Mhz.

@Empower Gaming Computers well im hype for AMD - I'll definitely give it a watch. Sucks that I went from a 5950x -> Intel 13900k. Should've stayed AMD -_-
honestly looking like intel is the one with the advertised speed failures. as far as what im seeing for amd expo is that those speeds are running smoothly.
i bought two expensive kits of 64 GB 6600 MHz but using only one kit now. x4 modules 32gb each won't even post on 6660 and really stable frequency is 5600. Exactly 1000 MHz lower. Very sad, but i need high speeds so decided to stay on two sticks 6600. i wandering if they going to fix it... maybe intel14th gen memory controller will be more stable

The issues with X4 DDR5 sticks continue to be a problem. We do not see a solution anytime soon at this point. I would recommend checking your Motherboard's support list and getting a kit that is confirmed compatible with your board. At least you will be able to run two sticks at 6000+

There are still issues with DDR5 while trying to run 4 sticks You can even check that with your own research. Yes DDR5 has matured slowly but still lots of issues with running 4 sticks at XMP or AMD EXPO advertised speeds. It is still valid.
